Safeguarding a transport system for truck engine blocks

Description

A truck engine block with a weight of approximately 500 kg is manually loaded at an infeed station. It is then positioned on an underfloor conveyor system by a lift and passed on. For the operators and workers present here, danger situations arise through shearing forces which could lead to irreversible injury, such as the severing of limbs. Safeguarding is therefore necessary. The difficulty here: there is very little space to which the people can retreat and this cannot be changed through constructive measures. Furthermore, according to the initial assessments, a Performance Level PL e is to be expected. Therefore, only Safety Light Curtains may be used that actually achieve this Performance Level.
